Philip James Taylor
Naturalist, Writer, Educator
Phil has over a decade’s worth of experience of delivering wildlife education in the form of workshops, writing and photography.
Phil achieved a BSc (Hons) in Ecology with Biology from the University of East Anglia (2005-2008). He then went on to gain practical experience from variety of volunteer placements, including acting as the Residential Volunteer Warden at RSPB Vane Farm in Scotland. His love for Scottish wildlife continued with a Ranger job at the Aigas Field Centre in Inverness. The role, something of a cross between teacher and tour guide, allowed him to lead both children and adults on trips across the Highlands to discover dolphins, eagles, deer and more!
Continuing the Scottish theme, Phil worked as the RSPB’s Red Kite Officer for Perth and Tayside before returning to academia to top of his knowledge with an MSc in Biodiversity and Conservation from the University of Leeds in 2013.
Phil has been involved in a huge range of wildlife projects in Yorkshire, including delivering outreach for the Canal and River Trust, York Greenways, Natural England, the Woodmeadow Trust and St Nicks Nature Reserve. Currently he is a Farm Discovery Coordinator for the Country Trust.
